Like you mean what I learned today (I teach high school)? I feel attacked! I joke around with my students that I am in my 24th year of high school. I tell them I have been institutionalized….I no longer understand the walls outside of the high school. Some days it feels as though this is true.
I have learned an incredible amount in 24 years of high school. I learned how to make websites as a teacher in high school as a matter of fact on Google Sites. I learned how to become a proficient leader and public speaker. I learned volumes about all types of history: World History, U.S History, U.S. Government and Economics the best way you can learn, teaching! I owe all of this experience for becoming the prolific lifelong learner I am today!
I learned how to run a business, how to market things in a rudimentary way, and how to be a smart financial person. I learned about the stock market, the crypto market, and a whole host of wonderful graphs to help analyze any decision.
As a student, I had some amazing teachers in high school who inspired me to think I could pull this teaching thing off, or pretty much anything for that matter. I learned what love was, what true friendship was, and how to serve my community.
I guess I never made it to the “top” of the corporate ladder and probably never will, but I would not trade everything I have learned for any amount of money, nor the memories of the relationships that I have formed.
